<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">BEFORE you do anything else look at the actual negative stock, see how the neg looks.<br>
<br>
More than once I have seen a video transfer that was way off, the neg being fine, and it happens more with B&W than color because the guys doing the transfer just don't see that much B&W.<br>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Underexposed... I did not expect that. Thank you! I will make one more try<br>
in the way you recommended.<br>
The jpeg is a still out of the avi-file I got from the transfer company.<br>
They are using a BTS FDL 90 transfer machine that has a quiet good<br>
reputation.<br>
This company provided me with very good scans, but also with more<br>
overexposed seeming scenes like this one than any other company. Only the<br>
BW-scenes! All coloured scenes are well exposed. I really never experienced<br>
so badly exposed footage before. I felt very firm in exposing -until I got<br>
these BW results...<br>

You should probably re-shoot. But even so, you need to find out what <br>
caused this effect so as to avoid it. How was the jpeg image made? Was <br>
it printed at a "normal" light or not? I agree with Dan--go back to the <br>
negative and see if there are any clues there. If it's fresh stock and <br>
it's that grainy, underexposure would be a likely cause.<br>
